About

Professional summary

I am an experienced bookkeeper with more than 13 years of experience supporting small and medium-sized businesses in the retail and service sectors in Greece.

I have strong practical expertise in maintaining bookkeeping records, preparing and filing Greek VAT returns, handling personal and business tax returns, and supporting tax compliance requirements.

I have worked extensively with X-Line ERP for over 10 years and have also developed practical experience with Xero, Microsoft Excel, accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliations, journals, VAT, and payroll administration.

As a freelance professional, I have managed client documentation, investigated bookkeeping discrepancies, corrected duplicate transactions, and communicated with clients and public authorities to resolve tax and administrative matters.

I am currently progressing through the AAT Level 4 Diploma in Professional Accounting after completing AAT Level 3. I have also earned Xero Certified Associate status and completed training in data analytics and AI automation.

I am an EU citizen eligible to work in Ireland, open to relocation, and interested in returning to a professional bookkeeping or accounting support role.
